i'd like to think i'm making an effort

the only thing my mother asked of me when we moved off the farm was to at least make an effort. she kept it vague, but i figured she meant apathy can't rule every aspect of my life any longer. so, when she asked me to go to the grocery store today, about 20 minutes before the Manchester United game was going to start, i didn't throw a fit. i believe rational people call that maturing. of course, i was saying just about every fucking word i could under my breath, but i'm making an effort. i was able to get gas and her pills and the groceries and miss only 2/3 of the game. at least i kept the groceries under $100. considering how much i got, that's a victory.

Manchester United and Manchester Shitty played to a 0-0 draw today. considering United was down to 10 men by the end, i'll gladly take the point and move on.

NXT was really good last night. i loved the video they did for Roderick Strong. i think NXT is going to be quickly back to being over as fuck once again.

Total Divas was fucking hilarious last night. the footage from Bulgaria was great.

the New York Yankees tried to piss away a victory last night, but held on to beat Boston 3-1. the kids earned this victory, that's for sure. they will face their nemesis Chris Sale this evening.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces and Lip Sync Battle.

this is truly one of those clusterfuck nights when it comes to television. at the same time as the shows are on, i'll be watching the New York Rangers play Game 1 of their second round series with Ottawa, while checking on the NFL Draft (the Saints have the 11th pick and 32nd pick in the first round), plus checking on the baseball game. hopefully both of my teams win tonight... if i'm going to be up late, i might as well be drinking.

we did have some storms roll through here this morning. i don't think we got nearly as much rain as they thought we were going to get. it did get cooler though, thankfully.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i was a little surprised when my name came up near the end of the podcast. you can check that out by going here:

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. it kind of depends on what mom needs as i am trying to help her get rid of the problems she's having with her feet as quickly as possible. i don't want her to fuck up another date for surgery. if i can help it, she's going to get it done this time.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
